Joseph Orton Poems

I don't think.
I could ever let you go.
I may sound like a weirdo.
But I just wanted you to know.
...

If I were to fly.
Right into the sky.
Right into the sun.
Where all my worries come undone.
...

The chains that I thought bound us.
Are just in my head.
You see no chains.
You see nothing to bind us.
...

Shatter Me With Your Words.
Rebuild Me With Your Kiss.
Tell Me When You're High Enough, For This To Be Bliss.
...

Holes.
My body is full of them.
Nothing seems to fill them.
With every person I meet.
...

I exist,
In a decaying abyss.
With nothing but,
Eerieness and mist.
...

I'm sorry we don't desire the same things.
But I'm no angel, for I don't have wings. I'm not saying I am the devil.
He is on a completely different level.
...

If I've offended you
I'm sorry
And I know that I'm a freak
But I can't help it
...

Like a ghost..
I know you are there.
To my eyes...
Its seems unfair.
...

I have a Tornado in my chest.
It won't let me rest.
The winds are getting higher.
This isn't what I desire.
...
